In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

No therapy exists. Its a cold turkey thing, and would require spending a week to 10 days of listening to me talk when I'm drunk, getting me sandwiches and putting up with sleazy advances.

Hmmmmm. Are Tequila and coconut scented oil involved?

See 253, addressed to ALL. This is baiting:

Amazing how some people can't take a hint as to when they aren't wanted or cared about, or whether anyone has any concern whether they live or die (preferably alone, in a shabby room, surrounded by ashtrays and whiskey bottles.......)
